2013 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · VA62 EOR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT test in October 2025 at 78,898 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving pattern where significant mechanical failures are addressed immediately after being identified. While the car suffered multiple failures in early 2025, the subsequent pass just twenty-four hours after a suspension-related failure indicates that the current or previous owner is willing to rectify safety-critical defects promptly rather than allowing the vehicle to deteriorate. At 78,898 miles over 13 years, the Juke has averaged approximately 6,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate usage. The data shows a recent period of activity, with 2,563 miles covered between February and March 2025 and another 2,563 miles followed by October 2025. This consistency suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which generally helps prevent the age-related degradation of rubber components and seals despite the low overall mileage-related wear. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the history reveals recurring issues with ball joints. The March 2025 failure flagged excessive play in both front track rod ends, while the October 2025 failure identified torn dust covers on the front suspension arm and anti-roll bar ball joints. Although these were reportedly repaired, the recurrence of steering faults within a short window suggests the front-end components may be prone to wear or that substandard parts were used. The exhaust system previously showed a major leak in March 2025, which should be verified to ensure the repair was comprehensive and no further corrosion is spreading. The previous failure regarding the nearside front door not opening from the outside also indicates a mechanical latch issue that should be checked for full functional operation. Given the emissions failure in early 2025, the engine's performance should be monitored for any rough idling or smoke to ensure the management system remains within parameters.
